This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we mourn the loss of Dennis Hopper and do a three-word review of Sex and the City 2.

Guillermo Del Toro is no longer going to be directing The Hobbit. This after two years of pre-production in New Zealand with producer Peter Jackson and his WETA team. It was announced today by Jackson and Del Toro via the Lord of the Rings fansite The One Ring.

Guillermo Del Toro told attendees at a press conference that his film version of JRR Tolkein’s “The Hobbit” doesn’t have a start date. The film is on hold until MGM manages to fix its financial problems. There’s no time table on when that might happen.

We’re not sure what actor Tobey Maguire was thinking when he woke up this morning, but we’re almost certain that he didn’t expect to be the next big thing on the internet.

No one is accusing Peter Jackson of rushing through production on The Hobbit, the Lord of the Rings prequel that he and Guillermo Del Toro (Pan’s Labrynth) are currently scripting.

There has been talk about a remake of the hit Spanish horror film The Orphanage for some time. And despite threats of actually making the thing, it appears as if the production has stalled.

It’s no secret around my neck of the woods that I’m a rabidly-obsessive Middle Earth fanatic. So what’s the newest casting rumor to hit the interwebz? It seems Brian Cox just may be joining Bilbo Baggins on the quest to evict Smaug from the Lonely Mountain.

Since we’re talking about movies that involve creepy kids, its time to take a trip to Spain, where director Juan Antonio Bayona wants to take you to an orphanage with a creepy history, and an even creepier present.

The veteran actor is deciding to call it quits…for now. What does that mean for The Hobbit? Nobody knows, so there aren’t any answers inside or anything.

3D Hobbit? Not so according to director Guillermo del Toro. Rumors have been flying that del Toro was planning to take Tolkien’s classic and turn it into a 3D Hobbit Experience.

For some reason I have to write the word ‘Bilbo’ a ton in this post, and it feels slightly gross. Luckily, I don’t have to write “Ryan Reynolds Cast as Bilbo Baggins,” so that’s a relief.

Guy Pearce is spending time with Katie Holmes in the dark. Hopefully neither of them will trip over Tom Cruise…

All three actors are signed up to reprise their original trilogy roles for the upcoming The Hobbit, so feel free to wet your geek pants. After all, you can’t get any uncooler.

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is a made-for-TV movie from the early seventies, and is notable for being one of the only two terrifying TV movies ever made. Now its getting a redo with Katie Holmes and director Troy Nixey.

Come for the Spider-Man 4 news and stay for the shot of Megan Fox in leather. You know you love it here in the Early Edition.

Guillermo del Toro presents a story of two scientists who have used genetic splicing to create what looks like The Chupacabra. Science!

Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) might just be the energizer bunny of film directors. He’s got projects lined up through 2010 and now is ready to direct The Witches based on Roald Dahl’s childrens book.

To be honest, I had only heard of fan auteur director Sandy Collora once before today — but that is likely to change, as his film Hunter Prey looks pretty damn cool.

No, the Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth director isn’t making gay porn. Yes, he is set to create a darker version of the classic tale, Pinocchio.

While She Was Out stars Basinger as a troubled housewife and mother who makes a fateful decision to go shopping at the mall.
